Despite plenty of competition from a large number of Droughtmaster exhibits the Limousin breed came up trumps in Gympie Show’s stud cattle interbreed competition.

With the Droughtmaster Feature Show being held at Gympie this year, the breed section attracted 160 head of cattle entries. But, it seems quality reigned over quantity with the 21 head of Limousin cattle entries producing the winning Supreme Champion Cattle Exhibit of the Show.

Taking the top spot was a 36-month-old black Limousin cow called Oakwood Black Sable with a seven-month-old apricot bull calf at foot.

Other winners in the Gympie Show Interbreed Cattle Competition was the Droughtmaster junior bull, Farogan Valley Chief, who was awarded the Champion Opposite Sex trophy after a female won the supreme exhibit. The Farogan Valley Chief bull also won the Interbreed Junior Bull trophy and reserve champion went to Jen-Daview Lambrusca Limousin bull. The Interbreed Junior Female was awarded to the Droughtmaster heifer called Glenlands Vanetta and reserve interbreed heifer went to the Brahman called HH Park Miss Charlotte. Interbreed Senior Bull went to the Angus from Glenrea Pastoral called Bowenfels Bando’s Boy, while reserve was awarded to the Simmental bull called KBV Legacy. The Interbreed Senior Female went to the supreme champion Oakwood Black Sable Limousin cow and reserve champion was awarded to Glenrea Pastoral’s Bowenfels Judda Angus cow. The Interbreed Exhibitors Group was taken out by the Droughtmaster breed.
